As developers and tech enthusiasts, we've all been through this process: for an OCR task, we find several seemingly powerful open-source models (like Marker, MinerU, PP-Structure, etc.). But what's next?
Environment Hell: Each model has its own unique conda environment, Python version, and CUDA dependencies. Switching between them for testing is time-consuming and exhausting.
Lack of Real-World Standards: Academic leaderboards are often based on standardized, clean datasets. They can't tell you which model will better handle the messy, scanned PDF with handwriting and tables you have on hand.
Difficult Evaluation: Manually comparing the Markdown outputs from different models, especially for long documents, is an extremely tedious and error-prone task.
We built Fast360 precisely to free developers from these repetitive and inefficient evaluation tasks.
